A rapidly growing wildfire in California's Eastern Sierra region burned through 1,000 acres and forced evacuations in multiple counties, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said on Sunday.
The Silver Fire, which ignited around 2:11 p.m. PT on Sunday near Highway 6 and Silver Canyon Road in Inyo County, remained at zero percent containment, Cal Fire said.
Evacuation orders were issued for several communities, including Laws in Inyo County, Chalfant in Mono County, and the White Mountain Estates neighborhood, Cal Fire added. A 30-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 6 was also closed.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or structural damage so far. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, according to Cal Fire.
